Your contributions have made a significant impact on our students' learning experiences. With the new texts we've introduced, students are developing critical reading skills, such as comprehension, analysis, and critical thinking. These lessons not only enhance their understanding of the material but also foster a love for reading that will benefit them throughout their lives.\r\n\r\nAs we transition back to school, these new books have been instrumental in easing that adjustment. They provide a familiar and comforting structure for students, helping them reconnect with learning after the break. In our classroom, reading has become an engaging and vibrant activity. Students are excited to dive into the new books, sharing their thoughts and insights with one another. It's heartwarming to see particular students flourish; for instance, one of our quieter readers has gained confidence and is now eagerly participating in discussions about the stories. Your support has truly transformed their reading experience, and we are deeply grateful for the difference you're making.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for believing in our mission and empowering our students!\r\n\r\nWarm regards,\r\n\r\nMs. Sarah Louis\r\n1st Grade Teacher\r\nCottonwood Elementary","fullyFundedDate":1746785554056,"projectUrl":"project/backpacks-bookmarks-my-ultimate-back-/9259264/","projectTitle":"Backpacks & Bookmarks: My Ultimate Back-to-School Reads","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Louis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10000959_orig.jpg?crop=1244,1244,x0,y551&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744828404674","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/sarahlouis"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_70755","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":526,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":27,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":42,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":42,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":74.1,"schoolId":70755,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cottonwood Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cottonwood Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/vail-school-district/cottonwood-elementary-school/70755"}
